Genesis 17:26 - Abraham and Ishmael were circumcised on the same day. I do love to just read Genesis sometimes. I also end up wondering just how history (and life today) would be different if Sarah had been patient and trusting enough to believe that God would fulfill his promise and didn't send Abraham to Hagar...
Another question for Dachlostar... I was told that after God made his covenant with Abraham that the Jews went on to circumcise their male children at 8 days old as per instructions. But because Ishmael was 13, the Muslims adopted the habit of circumcising at 13 years of age. It doesn't seem to sit right with me, and I have always wondered if this were true.
